Non-work related (Illness or Disease)

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) and income protection claims provide financial support to individuals who can no longer work due to permanent disability. These claims, typically processed through a TPD insurance claim, are designed to help you manage your financial needs if you are facing a total and permanent disability. Understanding the process is essential for anyone who wishes to make a TPD claim.

For TPD and income protection claims, you do not need to establish that your injury or illness is related to your employment. You only need to show that you have suffered an injury or been diagnosed an illness which has resulted in your incapacity to work, regardless of whether it was caused by your work or otherwise.

Understanding the TPD Insurance Claims Process

The process of making a TPD insurance claim involves several steps. First, it is crucial to understand what constitutes a permanent disability under your insurance policy. TPD insurance claims require evidence that your disability prevents you from returning to work, in any capacity you are qualified for by education, training, or experience. To successfully claim TPD benefits, you must usually obtain medical certifications and submit detailed documentation to your insurance company in order to begin claiming TPD benefits.
